TAPS' Take > Comments on Please Don't Bring Me An Avozilla

Re: Ciel

LOL. I used to work with a filipino male nurse who was always trying to get me to eat jackfruit and ube combos. His uncle owned the Manilla Groceries Store here and the worst thing he tried to get me to eat was shrimp heads with their long tentacles floating in the broth and their eyes looking at me.

Also... I LOVE those big avocados! The Choquette variety is rounder, the Hall has a pointy end, they are lighter in flavor, kind of sweet, and the seeds are much easier to start, I've found. This 'avozilla' claims to be a unique new one all descended from a single tree called Carla. But I have been eating the Hall and Choquette for years.

I have avocados and they seem as hard as bullets. Peaches taste like sweet wood. Pears I have had for a month and I know they will not ripen, look pretty though. I am afraid tinned fruit is 3 times as cheap and edible. Lucky you.
